An adventure? Yeah! That's all Manitoba Smith asked for when he left the house inside Mike's subconscious that night. The night? Really? While everyone was asleep? And it was all dark? Yeah. This one was brave. Oh! And he brought a flashlight.
Manitoba took out the flashlight and shined it on his surroundings. Seems to be a forest-like area, with a trail from the house to...well, who knows where? So, he followed it.
Continuing on, it seemed the forest was going on for a while. Manitoba pretty much saw nothing for the first few minutes. "Maybe everything's asleep…" He thought, feeling a bit tired himself. "I should be too…"
Then he heard a snap. "Huh-?!" He quickly glanced around. He noticed a shadowed figure, seeming familiar, and not the good kind of familiar either. He felt something cut his right arm. "Crikey-!" He had dropped the flashlight and grabbed onto it. He felt blood. "I should get home…"
Manitoba heard footsteps before they faded. He wanted to chase after the figure, but he knew that wouldn't be a good idea. He picked up his flashlight and assessed his injury. It seems like his right arm was cut with a knife of some sort, and it was bleeding out in profuse amounts. Manitoba then started running back home. Get help...bandages...sleep...he yawned, what was he thinking? This was a terrible idea! He sighed. He'll regret it later. Now he had to get home. Which he did.
Manitoba swung opened the door and sprinted through the place, trailing blood everywhere. He ran into the bathroom and over to the sink, where he got out the med-kit kept in the cupboard. He turned on the water and washed off his arm, getting out bandages and wrapping the cut portion of his arm with them. He sighed, putting everything away except some of the bandages, which he was going to keep for when he needed to change them. He then went to his room and got into bed, struggling to get into a comfortable position, but managing and falling asleep.
Though, Manitoba's sleep was anything but peaceful. He had a nightmare about the figure he'd seen...what could that be? Simply a creature, or a greater evil…?
